Twenty years have passed since UN member countries and civil society activists gathered in Beijing for the Fourth World Conference on Women, which concluded with the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPfA). This year, in 2015, the international community reviewed the progress in the implementation of the commitments agreed in Beijing. The Beijing+20 review has taken place at a very strategic moment as the world has concluded the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and decided on the shape of the post-2015 development agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); this concurrence created an important opportunity to position gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE) at the centre of the global agenda, both as an important end in itself and as an essential means for the achievement of sustainable development in all its dimensions.
